Titus Funeral Home Donates To The Magical Meadows

By Staff Report-

Titus Funeral Home and Cremation Services announced earlier this week it made a donation to The Magical Meadows after a barn, which was pivotal in the Meadows’ operation, was destroyed by straight-line winds last month, according to a provided news release.

“We are simply shocked by the power of nature in the destruction of the Meadows’ hay barn and we wanted to help,” said Cory Benz. “Not only were we shocked by the destruction, but we were also shocked by the outpouring of support from the community. We put a plea for donations on our Facebook and pledged to match the first $1,000 given. So far, we’ve raised more than $3,000 for this fantastic local charity.”

Benz is the owner and a funeral director at Titus Funeral Home. He also serves on The Magical Meadows Board of Directors.

According to Magical Meadows Executive Director Carl Adams, the loss of the barn has already affected Meadows’ bottom line. Adams said they don’t think they’ll be able to use the hay that was stored in the barn but went on to say the loss of the barn will not affect the production and movement of any classes.

Magical Meadows is a therapeutic riding program located outside of Warsaw. Their website showcases the programs they offer to children, youth and adults with physical and/or developmental disabilities in addition to veterans’ programs.

Titus Funeral Home and Cremation Services was established in 1956, offering funeral services for both traditional burial and cremation in addition to pre-planned funerals and headstone sales. The funeral home is locally owned and operated by Benz.

The Jim and Jean Northenor Hay Barn was built in March 2021 as a donation from the Northenor family. The barn was donated by Jean and Jim Northenor at a cost of more than $30,000. The replacement cost of the barn, hay and surrounding damaged structures is not yet known.
